Windows 7: BSOD - External Hard Drive problem? help needed

I went back to the factory installed image. This is after replacing the Motherboard. 6 months ago I sent the computer in and they replaced the motherboard and power supply. I feel like the power supply may be the issue after getting the event id 41 kernel power, also I am questioning whether I originally had a 800W vs the current 500W. Though it may be because I had to force power on/off. I have been reloading my computer with stuff I saved on my external hard drive and playing itunes one song off of my external hard drive, (WD15000H1NC my book). Attached is the system health report and a .arn file. AVG antivirus will be installed today, please help me so I haven't thrown $800 down the drain.

Is Windows 7 . . .
- x64
- Windows 7 pro 64bit
- OEM, with disk.

- What is the age of system (hardware)? 1 year
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) put OEM image on 2-4-2012
